Baron
Baron is a highly-adaptable, large-fruited Ancho, or Poblano, pepper. It has proven to produce better than other Anchos under challenging conditions. The fruits are very large (average size is 5 inches by 3 inches) and are typically two-lobed, which makes them easy to stuff and cook in their signature dish, chile rellenos.

Blaze
Blaze is a uniform, colorful, and high-yielding pumpkin. Flashy fruits are
yellow with orange stripes with an interesting and flattened shape. Sturdy, short vine plants have excellent powdery mildew resistance and yield very well (approximately 10 to 12 fruits per plant). This is an excellent addition for any ornamental grower. -

Blush
Blush is a long-day onion with brownish pink skins and light purple rings. It is easy to grow with vigorous foliage and produces mostly jumbo-sized, blocky-globe bulbs. Thick skins suggest excellent storage potential. Adaptation: 38° to 55° latitude.

texture to add heft to salad mixes. Organic seed. -

Flaminio
Flaminio is a higher-yielding Costata squash type. Plants have full bush habit, but are more manageable with moderate spines and less sprawling. Flaminio out-yielded the OP strain and other hybrid Costata types in our trials. Large male and female blossoms are ideal for edible flowers. Fruits are best when picked at 6 to 8 inches long.

Miz America
Miz America is a very dark-red toothed mustard. The striking, toothed leaves are red on both sides and are less serrated than mizuna, with a mild flavor. A unique component in salad mix because of its striking color and serrate leaf. Grow to full size for bunching.
